The Duke and Duchess of Sussex surprised royal fans earlier this week when they launched a brand-new website – sussex.com.
The announcement came just days after Prince Harry’s trip to the UK to visit his father King Charles following news of his cancer diagnosis and just hours before their trip to Canada, to mark one year until the Invictus Games.

Listen to the new episode below.
“[The new website] effectively replaces the archwell.com website that they've been using for the last couple of years,” Emily told host Emmy Griffiths.
“The way it was described to me is that it's a kind of one stop shop for their various different pillars of work, so it encompasses Archwell productions, their media production company, it encompasses Archwell Foundation, their charitable foundation, but it's also going to be a platform for other updates. And I think this is really interesting because it is a bit of a signal that they are about to start doing more different things.”

Emily also talked about the timing of the launch, explaining that “they've launched this website now at time when they will probably want to share further updates about what they're doing” and reveals why the couple still refuse to join any social media platform as well as what she expects to see in the coming months from the new website.
